Book Image Not Available Book Image Not Available
Overview
A concise description, supported by descriptions from actual case files of how the healthcare system, including insurance companies, hospitals, physicians and others, deny needed healthcare to their patients, in order to increase their profit. We have turned the free enterprise system loose on us, and it's silently killing and injuring us.
Description
You know you are not receiving adequate healthcare. But you may not know why. Through the stories of the cases Mr. Balisok has handled over the years of his practice, he explains how our healthcare system fails us, causing untold injury and death. And the perpetrators include those to whom we have entrusted with our health and lives. Why should we need an attorney at our side when we go to the doctor?
